GERIATRIC CARE

MANAGEMENT… Demystifying “Aging

in America”

The Geriatric Care Manage-

ment program sponsored by

the School of Social Welfare

at Stony Brook University is

designed to help health care

professionals and senior

advocates better understand

the difficult day-to-day

challenges associated with

“aging in America.” Older

Americans, the fastest grow-

ing segment of the popula-

tion, must make a wide range

of social, health, financial,

legal and end-of-life deci-

sions. Most seniors are able

to make decisions for them-

selves, for others, this is no

longer possible. Either way,

the needs of older adults are

best served when an inter-

disciplinary team works

collaboratively for the benefit

of the older person.
